Valpolicella Superiore is one of the great wines of the Veronese tradition, known and loved for its sobriety and elegance. Compared to its namesake Valpolicella, it owes its ‘superiority’ to ageing in oak wood, which enriches its structure and complexity.

Tasting notes

Bright ruby red in colour, it opens with the captivating fragrance of red berries. On the palate it is dry and velvety and reveals a pleasant aftertaste of almonds, with a gratifying, persistent finish.
